I feel a knot in my throat
My voice trembles as it comes out
Under the bed the monsters stop me from sleeping
I feel alone since childhood
Even with people around me
I always fought for freedom, but being free made me alone
I have fire in my eyes
Barefoot I go hunting
To find my place
I embrace the darkness
That always became my home
Now I run with my wolves
I dance around the fire
Right in the eyes I see the monsters
That insist on staring at me
They always thought I was crazy
For wanting to be a little more
I know I have my monsters
But I keep walking
I'll show all the things
That you all didn't value
That you never expected to see
From this boy from the countryside
I have fire in my eyes
Barefoot I go hunting
To find my place
I embrace the darkness
That always became my home
Now I run with my wolves
I dance around the fire
Right in the eyes I see the monsters
That insist on staring at me
They always thought I was crazy
For wanting to be a little more
I know I have my monsters
But I keep walking
It's so clear now
I wish I could say
To that child
That still doesn't see
It's so clear now
I know it will hurt
But this is necessary
For who you're going to be

MonstrosMonsters

Monstros means 'monsters'. It's a captivating and evocative word that immediately draws attention, especially as it's also the title of the song.

In the context of the lyrics, 'monstros' represents not just literal monsters under the bed, but also the internal struggles, fears, and societal judgments that the singer faces. Jão uses this word to explore themes of loneliness, self-acceptance, and overcoming inner demons, making it a central and powerful image throughout the song.

Have you ever felt like there were monsters under your bed? In "Monstros," Jão uses this powerful image to sing about facing deep-seated fears and anxieties that have followed him since childhood. The song opens with a feeling of a lump in the throat and a trembling voice, painting a picture of loneliness even when surrounded by people. He describes a struggle where the very freedom he fought for ironically left him feeling more alone.

But this isn't a song about defeat. It's about a powerful transformation. Jão declares he has "fire in his eyes" and is on a hunt to find his place. Instead of running from the darkness, he embraces it as his home. The song's energy builds as he describes running with wolves, dancing around a fire, and finally looking his monsters right in the eye. It's a triumphant anthem for anyone who has ever felt misunderstood or underestimated, celebrating the journey of accepting your inner demons and continuing to walk forward, stronger than before.
